Boycott Call

July 30, 1985

WARSAW, POLAND — Student leaders are up in arms over a new law limiting campus freedom. The law, passed by Parliament five days ago, allows police to break up campus rallies at will and abolishes student unions. It also requires newly hired university lecturers to take an oath of loyalty to the Communist Party. Student reaction: A call to boycott fall elections for Parliament. Leaders of unions representing 300,000 students said Monday they would not take part in the Oct. 13 elections. They said they feared they will be harassed by police for issuing the boycott call. Students: The bill ''deprives the academic community of all its basic rights.''
